With the holidays approaching quickly and the time for buying gifts is running out, finding the perfect present for your favorite soccer fan can be difficult. There are plenty of standard gifts that you could buy, but what happens if somebody else got them a ball or a scarf? We’ve compiled a list of the top 5 unique gifts for any soccer fan.
1. Tickets to a Match
Every fan loves going to see their favorite team in action. It’s what they live for: the unified chanting, the electric atmosphere and the family bond between the fans. A pair of match tickets would be the perfect gift for any soccer fan (maybe they’ll even bring you!). With the highly anticipated 2016 MLS season quickly approaching, there’s no better time than the holidays to lock in game-day seats.
Orlando City are currently running a promotion which includes a ticket for Orlando City’s opening game of the 2016 season and Orlando Pride’s first ever game when they kick off their 2016 season. The Holiday 2-Pack can be purchased here.
2. Some Reading Material
The average soccer fan is a fan of the sport worldwide, and it can be hard to keep up to date with all the great players around the globe. Howler magazine is an American based magazine that contains all the vital information that any global soccer fan needs. A subscription to Howler or any other soccer literature you can find would be an ideal gift for any avid soccer fan. Gift Subscriptions can be bought here, and single issues can be bought here.
3. A High Tech Toy
Soccer’s evolution is a rapidly unfolding prospect. The world of soccer is benefitting greatly from all the new technological advances emerging. ADIDAS has jumped on a magnificent opportunity with their new ADIDAS miCoach Soccer Ball. The ADIDAS smart ball works with an app on the smart phone to help the ambitious soccer fan hone their skills.

Sports trading cards have been an iconic collectible item since their introduction in the 1950s.

5. Car accessories for the #1 Fan
Every soccer fan loves expressing their extreme devotion to their favorite club in many ways. Fans of soccer are probably the most expressive fans in the world. They wear their jerseys, scarves and other sports accessories at every opportunity they get, that’s why a supporter’s car accessory pack would be a great gift for those fans who wish to express their dedication on a daily basis on the road. The MLS online store features some great items to help you deck out your loved ones ride. A few of the unique car decorations include magnets, decals, license plate frames, key chains, and more.
